A hug of hair in black and white
Upon the river, perched in setting light
Staircase to the glassy water’s edge
You toss and turn
You’re dancing for nobody and for everyone
I’m rolling under the tides
Searching for the other lives
Stuck below and inside
Sinking first, to get alive
Beam of the moon at night
Bleached strands tussled in the warm wind bright
You sing so proud upon the hill
Before the cold renders a damning chill
Milky ghosts forge the obscuring glow
Folding heart, take it slow
I’m rolling under the tides
Searching for the other lives
I’m stuck below and inside
I’m sinking first, to get alive
I’m flying over the tides
I’m hiding all my other lies
On the plains above and outside
And I’m floating now, but I can’t arrive
Do do do do-do
Do do do do-do
Do do do do-do
Do do do do-do
I’m rolling under the tides
Searching for the other lives
I’m stuck below and inside
Sinking first, to get alive
I’m flying over the tides
I’m hiding all my other lies
On the plains above and outside
And I’m floating now, but I can’t arrive

American Dream

It’s the dead of summer
But I’m shivering in the cold
In a shitty playground
A swing set filled with mold
How the hell did I end up here?
This suburban castle
With a broken FedEx box
A permanently open door
I wonder if they cringe now
How the hell did I end up here?
How the hell did I end up here?
I dream I’m falling through the black
Above a curved horizon
Wearing a red helmet as I pray
Everything moves slowly
Up here with the stone eyes
Locked in and watching me
Can’t look away
I wake up laying
In the middle of the road
By the crumbling playground
I’m waiting for the rain
How the hell did I end up here?

The Flood

Took us around the back
We swallowed all the fat
We choked on toughened meat
The thickened air, the blackened heat
I stumbled home alone
Machete caught my throat
I tried to hold my tongue
Emptied my pockets one by one
Every day we tumbled to the waste
Dancing over gems disgraced
We are in a land we can’t escape
But we climb again to test our fate
You walked for seven miles
To put the earth in piles
Planted Sonia’s mango trees
Calloused your hands and scraped your knees
The torrents pounded down
Released the swollen ground
And I prayed for clearer days
But you’d surrendered to wash away
In the tide your face was blue and pale
As we hoisted up the sail
We sent you out into the dawn
Your pockets full, your fire withdrawn
As you drifted far beyond the mire
I could have sworn I heard you sigh
Now I turn and fall back to the waste
Imagining your embrace
Over gems I dance, there’s no escape
(Over gems I dance, there’s no escape)
I climb again to meet my fate
(I climb again to meet my fate)
All the marching drums they cannot find
(The marching drums they cannot find)
The beat of your heart next to mine
(The beat of your heart next to mine)

Marrow

He died on the same day
I watched him fall
Now he’s always a shadow
He’ll keep me in tow
How have I fathered
These eyes all around
The blood on this house
I have torn to the ground
One year and woe
I found all the answers I thought I had
Soft in the shadows
Caved at the marrow
Five years and ten
I could have returned to that field again
There to replace you
The bones and the bright blue
